Its years since I read the original books by Diana Galbaldon but this series
reeled me right in as did the books at the time. Most enjoyable viewing. Look
forward to viewing the next series.

These DVD's are an absolute ‘must watch’ if you are a fan of the books!
Very enjoyable and totally a ‘guilty pleasure’, it would be too easy to
spend the day watching them totally losing track of time…

Description

After serving as a British Army nurse in World War II, Claire Randall is
enjoying a second honeymoon in Scotland with husband Frank, an MI6 officer
looking forward to a new career as an Oxford historian. Suddenly, Claire is
transported to 1743 where her freedom and life are threatened. To survive, she
marries Jamie Fraser, a strapping Scots warrior with a complicated past and a
disarming sense of humor.

A passionate relationship ensues, and Claire is caught between two vastly
different men in two inharmonious lives. “Outlander” is adapted from the
best-selling book series by Diana Gabaldon.

Outlander Reviews

“Though technically a time-travel tale, Outlander eschews the typical
tropes. It’s more Peggy Sue Got Married poignant than Back to the Future
geeky. There’s a subtly played allegorical aspect to Claire’s adventure,
too. You could read her time-space odyssey as a Narnia-esque dream-fantasy, a
way to process her war trauma and fluxy identity. There’s also a feminist
interpretation: Claire — strong, intelligent, and sophisticated; married to a
man who regards her as an equal — has gone down a rabbit hole into a
misogynistic, patriarchal society. Outlander is good enough to inspire such
overthinking. What makes it just plain good is the escapist fun of a romance
told uncommonly well.” – EW.com

“It was enormously refreshing to see an epic, gruesome fantasy series
told from a female perspective, and Balfe maintained a lovely balance of
bewilderment at her situation, rational assessment and defiant competence in
dealing with it.” – Daily Telegraph
